Alugbati is one of my favorite green, leafy source. In terms of its nutritional content, I would consider that it is one of the most nutritious. Easy to cook, easy to grow.
AlugbatiA succulent, branched, smooth, twining herbaceous vine, several meters in length. Stems are purplish or green.
Common market product, a popular leafy and stew vegetable, a good substitute for spinach.The green and purple cultivated varieties are preferable to the wild ones.
Both the young shoots and stems are eaten.
Excellent source of calcium and iron; good source of vitamins A, B, and C, with a high roughage value.

A picture's worth a thousand words- and this one says YUMMY!

ReplyDeletewow! you posted one of my favorite leafy vegetables! I love eating alugbati,kahit anong kulay pa.
ReplyDeletewe also cook alugbati and monggo at home. unfortunately, i only eat monggo.:p
ReplyDeleteI love alugbati, too, but I seldom cook alugbati in our house because my husband doesn't like it.
ReplyDeleteYes, alugbati and monggo go well together, and I like it. I can't eat alugbati salad though, which my mom would prepare for us. =)
